Thxs @Mahamoti. Yeah, we actually replaced 3 members this week (1 retired, 1 wanted a more casual guild and 1 got kicked for not meeting reqs). We got lucky and found 3 great new members but they didn't join until late in the week.

I don't know whether it was the seasonal tables coming out last week, or the Sneak Peeks getting us all excited for Guild Wars, but the top 50 guilds increased activity all across the table this week. Go forth and check it out, an it pleases you to do so.

Correct, but I didn't see anyone point out weekly rank since the last results were released.

The numbers aren't out for this week yet. Intrim and Anonmyous are too close to call for 1 and 2. Usually it's those two guilds then much further down, everyone else. Unprentant is likely 3rd again with a much smaller gap than usual.

I don't dwell on weekly change numbers for individual guilds too much since they're quite a bit dependent on when I do my weekly recording, which depends in turn on when I have the chance to do so which varies somewhat from week to week.

But if others want to examine these things, that's what making the stats available is for.

One thing I will note is that the number of Top 100 players from outside the Top 50 guilds was on the rise this week. In the past, this has usually meant a few up-and-coming guilds are due to appear in the Top 50 soon.

But by definition, a player who quit 8 months ago isn't the top player in the game. No more than a team who was the greatest team of the last decade can lay any claim to the championship being handed out this year.
